Before using this camera

EMVA 1288

With regard to signal-to-noise ratio in this manual, specifications measured by EMVA 1288 are used
together with specifications by a traditional measurement method.

EMVA 1288 is a more complete measurement that considers multiple noise sources, including random
noise, pattern noise, and shading. Additionally, EMVA 1288 incorporates temporal variances in pixel
output by capturing 100 frames of data and computing the RMS variations over the captured frames.
Because of the comprehensive nature of the noise analysis and the additional consideration for RMS
variances over time, EMVA 1288 SNR measurements are inherently lower than the traditional SNR
measurements given by manufacturers. However, the comprehensive nature combined with rigid test

parameters, means that all manufacturers’ are measuring their products equally and EMVA 1288 tested

parameters can be compared among different manufacturers’ products.

In order to learn more about EMVA 1288, please visit http://www.emva.org

Frame grabber board

The SP-20000M-PMCL and SP-20000C-PMCL comply with “Power over Camera Link” which enables power
to be supplied to the camera through the Camera Link cable(s). Because the power requirements of the
camera exceed the amount of power which can be provided over a single PoCL connection, power must
be supplied via both Camera Link cables in order to utilize the PoCL capabilities. If you plan to use this
function, please be sure that the frame grabber board you are using also complies with this specification.
Alternatively, the camera can be powered via a separate power supply connected to the 12-pin Hirose
connector.

The SP-20000M-PMCL and SP-20000C-PMCL employ output formats which comply with the GenICam

Ⓡ

standard. They are 1X8-1Y (8-Tap output), 1X4–1Y (4-Tap output) and 1X2–1Y (2-Tap output). 1X8–1Y,
1X4-1Y and 1X2–1Y are available for 8-bit and 10-bit. Please check if the frame grabber used in the
system complies with the mentioned formats.

Computer used for SP-20000 series

In order to get proper performance from this camera, it is necessary to use a PC equipped with a PCIe

2.0 slot with a size and capacity of 16 lanes or higher (x16 or x32).

Camera control tool

The SP-20000M-PMCL and SP-20000C-PMCL are designed to use the JAI SDK and Control Tool software to
control camera functions. All controllable functions are stored in the camera’s XML file. The JAI SDK can
be downloaded from www.jai.com .

A camera control tool for using the Short ASCII command protocol is not available on the JAI website.
Please contact your local JAI representative if this is required.

1. General

The SP-20000M-PMCL and SP-20000C-PMCL are among the first new “Spark Series” cameras to be
introduced. They provide both high resolution and a high frame rate with excellent image quality for
machine vision applications. The SP-20000M-PMCL is a monochrome progressive scan CMOS camera and
the SP-20000C-PMCL is the equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CMOS camera. Both are equipped
with CMOS sensors offering a 35 mm full size image format, a resolution of 20 million pixels, and a 4:3
aspect ratio. They provide 30 frames per second for 1X8–1Y output format continuous scanning with 5120
x 3480 full pixel resolution for both monochrome and raw Bayer output.

8-bit or 10-bit output can be selected for both monochrome and raw Bayer formats. The new cameras

feature a Mini Camera Link interface which is capable of supporting a “Power over Camera Link”

capability. A full pixel readout or partial scan readout mode can be selected depending on applications.
The readout format is available from 8-tap, 4-tap or 2-tap output.

The SP-20000M-PMCL and SP-20000C-PMCL have various comprehensive functions needed for automated
optical inspection applications, such as solid state device inspection or material surface inspection. They
incorporate video processing functions such as a look-up table, flat field shading compensation and
blemish compensation in addition to fundamental functions such as trigger, exposure setting and video
level control. They also provide a new HDR (High Dynamic Range) function.

5.4 Pulse Generator

The SP-20000-PMCL series has a frequency divider using the sensor clock as the basic clock and
four pulse generators. In each Pulse Generator, various Clear settings are connected to GPIO.
The following shows Pulse Generator default settings.

Table - 9 Pulse Generator default settings

5.4.1 Clock Pre-scaler

Clock pre-scaler (Divide Value) can set the dividing value of the frequency divider (12-bit
length) and the sensor clock is used for this. Four built-in pulse generators work by the
same clock. In the SP-20000-PMCL, the sensor pixel clock is 39.16 MHz.

5.4.2 Pulse Generator Selector

This is where you select one of the 4 pulse generators in order to set or modify its
parameters.

Fig.7 Pulse Generator pulse construction

5.4.3 Pulse Generator Length

Set the counter up value (number of clocks, refer to Table 12) for the selected pulse

generator. If Repeat Count value is “0”, and if Pulse Generator Clear signal is not input,

the

pulse generator generates the pulse repeatedly until reaching this counter up value.

5.4.4 Pulse Generator Start Point

Set the active output start count value for the selected pulse generator.
However, please note that a maximum 1 clock jitter for the clock which is divided in the clock
pre-scaler can occur.

5.4.5 Pulse Generator End Point

Set the active output ending count value for the selected pulse generator.

5.4.6 Pulse Generator Repeat Count

Set the repeating number of the pulse for the selected pulse generator. After Trigger Clear
signal is input, the pulse generator starts the count set in Repeat Count. Accordingly, an
active pulse which has a start point and end point can be output repeatedly.
However, if Repeat Count is set to “0”, it works as free-running counter.

5.4.7 Pulse Generator Clear Activation

Set the clear conditions of clear count pulse for the selected pulse generator.

5.4.8 Pulse Generator Clear Sync Mode

Set the count clear method for the selected pulse generator.
In case of Async Mode, if the clear signal is input during the length setting value, the counter
will stop counting according to the clear signal input.
In case of Sync Mode, if the clear signal is input during the length setting value, the counter
will continue to count until the end of the length setting value and then clear the count.
Both modes clear the repeat count when the counter is cleared.

6.3 Output timing

6.3.1 Horizontal timing

This timing is for the continuous trigger. The horizontal frequency is changed by the setting of
Tap Geometry. The SP-20000M-PMCL (monochrome) supports horizontal and vertical binning.
However, the horizontal frequency does not change when horizontal binning is effective, and
therefore, the frame rate is not increased.

Note:

1. In 1X8-1Y, 10-bit setting (80-bit Configuration), DVAL output port is used for data output and therefore, DVAL is not output through
Camera Link interface.

2. In the SP-20000-PMCL, the horizontal frequency is not doubled even if horizontal binning is ON.

3. In the SP-20000-PMCL, the horizontal frequency is 1/2 if vertical binning is ON. And if vertical binning is ON, the invalid data is output
in non-active range (H-offset range) of DVAL during LVAL being active.

4. H-Offset： Duration between LVAL Active Start and DVAL Active Start.

5. The phase of Exposure Active is described based on using the output at Camera Link Spare bit as the reference.

6. If the next exposure is done while the image of V-Binnig On is read out, the exposure control is increased or decreased by 0.5 line unit.

7. “d” ExposureActive Start to LVALActiveStart may have 1 clock difference due to the jitter in LVALNonActive period.

Table – 15 Continuous trigger horizontal frequency (1X8–1Y, 1X4–1Y)

In the following table, values in “Actual operation” are real operating values. However, “1 Line Total
Clock” values in “Calculation” are used to calculate the frame rate and other. This is because jitter
occurs in “LVAL Non Active” period.
